Chapter 302: Fireworks are extremely popular
The selection contest started later than Zhou Lu imagined.
Mainly because after the Fairy Kingdom incident, the officials noticed many internal problems, and they needed time to identify sufficiently loyal beastmasters. It would really be ridiculous if a person who sympathized with the immortals was finally chosen to become the beast master of Qiudao Mu.
Fortunately, since all the senior officials of Xianguo and Yangui had been beheaded, the Immortal Resurrection Group was quickly eliminated by the official team of beast masters who were hunting down all the leaders.
They did not miss any detail, and even dug three feet into the ground to dig out all the dead immortals of the Ascension Sect.
Qi Lin lied.
He did not eat his former partner, he just killed and buried him.
With the complete destruction of the Immortal Resurrection Group, the selection competition for the Qiudao Wood Beast Master has finally entered the schedule.
While waiting for the start of the game, Hanabi went crazy in the Invalides.
Many of the mythical beasts here are already in their old age, because their masters have passed away long ago, and their end is approaching, so their temperaments are inevitably unstable.
But fireworks always have such a magical power, as if a junior can bring all kinds of joy to these mythical beasts, and they have gradually become the favorite of the Invalides.
This directly made Hanabi become the little bully in the Invalides. No matter what mischief she did, she could be easily forgiven.
Fortunately, Hanabi is past the age of naughtiness...well, at least not as naughty as she was at the beginning.
Although it is still playful, it can control its speed very well and will not do such annoying things.
It was also during this period that the scope of firework cleaning was no longer limited to Zhou Lu's temporary room, but encompassed the entire Invalides.
It took over all the cleaning work for the mythical beast's residence, which really touched Ye Qingyu.
Because the emotions of the mythical beasts in their twilight years are unstable, the specialists who enter the cleaning department are often frightened to varying degrees. Now that Hanabi does all the work, it will reduce the work pressure of the nursing team.
Hanabi didn’t mean to please. But in its mind, this is something that should be done if the relationship is good, not to mention that it really likes cleaning.
As a mythical plant beast, Hanabi's cleaning work directly gave the entire Invalides a new look.
It also planted various ornamental plants in various places in the Invalides with great interest. These plants are all Hanabi branches camouflaged through mimicry, so there is no need to worry about taking care of them.
After such operations, the Invalides, which had already shown a slightly bleak atmosphere, suddenly became full of vitality again.
It’s not like the nursing team never thought of doing this before, but they spent all their efforts and even hired professional landscape designers, but the effect they achieved was not as good as a firework.
When Zhou Lu got up, Hanabi had already gone out.
Breakfast has been prepared, and it is Zhou Lu’s favorite food.
Xiao Caocao seemed to feel that the owner had been neglected during this period, and even thoughtfully left cute words on each dish.
Hanabi's transformation of the Invalid Academy has come to an end.
After all, it is a spiritual pet with an owner, and it is time to devote itself to its own work. Today Hanabi planned to give her work during this period a perfect ending.
Zhou Lu had just finished breakfast when he saw Qiudao Mu walking in.
Seeing Qiudaomu, Zhou Lu guessed something: "Is the selection contest about to begin?"
Qiudaomu nodded and said: "The day after tomorrow."
"Ah... time flies so fast."
"Yes, a thousand years have passed like this." Qiudao Mu sat down opposite Zhou Lu and sighed.
“Well, that’s not that fast.”
“It’s already very fast for spiritual beasts, especially divine beasts.” Qiudao Mu said and looked at Zhou Lu, “ To be honest, I still envy Hanabi."
Zhou Lu thought of Hanabi who was busy outside: "I don't know how long I can stay with Hanabi."
"As long as you are willing, it should be a long, long time." Qiu Daomu took a deep look at Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu was stunned.
"It seems that you still don't know what's going on with you?" Qiudao Mu smiled, "It's true, you clearly have something that others want, but you don't know it at all."< br>
“What?”
“ Haven't you discovered it yet?" Qiudao Mu said seriously, "Lifespan is directly related to attributes. Creatures that can achieve immortality basically have the ability to grow infinitely. This is true for immortals and the same is true for Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon. The same goes for Meng Yuhua.”
Having said this, Qiudaomu looked at Zhou Lu and said, "And your attributes now seem to be far beyond what humans should have. And every time I see you, your attributes are growing."< br>
"Uh...I can explain it."
"I have already guessed how you did it." Qiudaomu took a sip of soy milk indifferently.
Although this was not the first time he saw a plant spirit beast drinking soy milk, Zhou Lu still felt it was quite strange.
The growth of Zhou Lu’s attributes is considered a special case.
To achieve this obvious attribute growth, basically any condition is indispensable.
The beast master must learn [return feeding] and other beast master skills that can allow his spiritual pet to feed back attributes to himself, and then the attributes of the corresponding spiritual pet must be high enough to be able to feed back the attributes after feeding back. The attributes of the beast master have been significantly increased.
In addition, Jiu Di Zhu Long’s [Dragon Talisman] skill is also needed to fix the increased attributes.
The [Dragon Talisman] skill allows teammates to convert the attributes increased by skills into permanent attributes of teammates in proportion.
As Benben enters the fourth level, the attributes fixed by the [Dragon Talisman] skill have reached 100% of the increased attributes, and the daily limit has also reached a considerable number.
This is why during this period of time, apart from the branches that automatically capture attributes that spread out, Hanabi's attributes increased every day for a period of time that was incomprehensible.
The same is true for Zhou Lu.
In order not to become a burden to Hanabi, Zhou Lu never stopped using [feedback] to gain attributes.
After several months of accumulation, Zhou Lu now essentially possesses the combat power of a second-level spirit beast.
It is no exaggeration to say that with Hua Hui restraining the opponent's spiritual pet, Zhou Lu has the ability to directly kill the opponent's beastmaster alone.
Of course, for the battle Hanabi will face next, Zhou Lu's combat power will have no effect at all.
However, Zhou Lu also benefited a lot from other benefits brought by attribute growth.
Not to mention the extension of his lifespan, his physique has also improved by leaps and bounds, and he can even withstand Hanabi's one act of coquettishness.
Yes.
As Hanabi's strength increases, the destructive power caused by her coquettish behavior also increases exponentially. If Zhou Lu's physique hadn't also improved by leaps and bounds, Hanabi would probably have to hold back on her coquettish behavior.
"There are only eight people participating in the selection competition this time including you." Qiudao Mu said to Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu was a little surprised: "So few?"
Hearing Zhou Lu's words, Qiudaomu showed a helpless expression: "Few? These are those who are over forty years old after screening. The remaining beast masters can change their initial You are a fifth-level beast master who has been trained to the level of a true god?”
“Sure enough, you humans just don’t know what this means.” Hearing Qiu said. Zhou Lu was also a little embarrassed when he complained.
There was no way, from his perspective, becoming a fifth-level beast master didn't seem to be a difficult thing.
You see, he can become a fifth-level beast master within a year. Even if others cannot match his speed, they can always do it in four or five years.
However, after Qiu Daomu mentioned this, Zhou Lu finally came to his senses.
These eight beast masters, including myself, are definitely the essence of the entire human race, and they represent the future of mankind.
Humanity now has no clear external enemy, so the talented beast masters with powerful strength can only show their abilities in the beast master competition. Otherwise, these few beast masters would have become one party long ago. A hero.
The format of the selection competition is actually very simple. Draw lots and then compete.
But winning the battle is only part of the investigation.
There is no rule that Qiudaomu must choose the final winner to become his new beast master.
The battle process is also a process for the beast masters to show off their respective talents.
If Qiudaomu likes one of the beast masters, even if the opponent loses in the battle, he can still become the beast master selected by Qiudao Mu.
It can even start the next selection contest without selecting anyone.
The higher-ups of the human race do not intend to force Qiu Daomu to choose his own beast master.
This is not only because Qiudaomu is very important to human beast control system, but also because Qiudaomu is the hero who created the era of beast control.
Criticizing and persecuting heroes is something that humans of any era cannot accept. This is enough to shake the public's view of the government.
Of course, it has never happened that Qiudaomu did not choose a beast master at all. In the past few selection competitions, it basically chose the final winner.
Lu Shan Zhuyu was in front of him, but Qiu Daomu never felt that other beast masters had any special charm that he should choose directly.
Since everyone is the same to Qiudao Mu, then of course the strongest one among them should be chosen.
"Is it a random draw?" Zhou Lu said thoughtfully, "Wouldn't it be very unlucky if I draw someone with a restrained attribute?"
"Luck is also one of the components of the examination." Qiudaomu smiled and said, "After all, if you have bad luck, who knows when you will die."
Okay...
Zhou Lu was speechless for a moment.
"Master~! I'm back~!" At this moment, the sound of fireworks came from outside the door.
Looking up, I saw Hanabi walking in carrying large and small bags.
Looking at the package held by Hanabi, Zhou Lu was stunned for a moment.
Because there were so many things in the package, many things inside were exposed.
Feathers, scales, horns...
Judging from the smell of these items, these are definitely rare.
"What are these?" Zhou Lu said with slight surprise.
"The garbage that was cleaned up." Hanabi said matter-of-factly, "Seniors, just let me take it away."
Garbage...
If these were all rubbish, there would be nothing valuable or valuable in the world.
“Can’t you fit it in your bag?” Zhou Lu asked curiously.
Hanabi's bag is actually the Tsukiyama Cauldron.
After evolving to the fourth level, Hanabi transformed it into a handbag style.
Hanabi said a little embarrassedly: "It is filled with gifts from my seniors."
Speaking of this, Hanabi also emphasized: "I refuse some! But they must be given to me."
"The holding capacity of the Yueshan Cauldron is very large..."
"The seniors gave me a lot of things." Hanabi blinked and said, "There are also a few seniors who said it was some kind of inheritance..."
The corners of Zhou Lu's eyes twitched slightly.
Hanabi was just helping the mythical beasts clean and tidy up their rooms, and chatting with them. How could she get the inheritance they prepared?
Compared with the gifts given by the mythical beasts, these things that fall off from the mythical beasts naturally become garbage.
Hanabi naturally knew the value of these "junk", so she didn't refuse and packed them all back.
"I couldn't hold it anymore, so I went to the Ivy Dragon and peeled off a layer of skin." Hanabi said casually and said a terrifying sentence.
When Zhou Lu heard Hua Huo's words, he showed a look of horror almost instantly.
Qiu Daomu helplessly explained to Hanabi: "The Ivy Dragon originally had to shed its skin every once in a while, and it has indeed come to the time of molting recently, so I asked it to come over and help Hanabi. Training.”
Zhou Lu glared at Hanabi speechlessly: "Don't use such terrifying words to state such a thing."
Huabi scratched his head in embarrassment.
"So, what should I do with these materials?" Hanabi asked, pointing to the materials wrapped in ivy dragon skin.
Of course Hanabi cannot be given away as a gift given to it by the seniors of the mythical beast, but these are "garbage" certified by the seniors, which means that Hanabi can be disposed of casually.
Zhou Lu thought for a while and said: "Donate part of it to Xin'an College and Xinyue College, and then ask the seniors and seniors to come over and see if there is anything they are interested in that needs to be picked out. The rest will be left to Sister Qingyu, please help us sell it through official channels.”
Zhou Lu now doesn't have any strong demand for materials.
Benben’s evolution does not require any materials.
As a Xiaolingyun, Yueya needs materials for fifth-level evolution, but she has already prepared these materials early on, and does not need Zhou Lu's help at all.
In this case, there is nothing wrong with keeping these materials in hand.
Zhou Lu selected some good-quality parts that could be used as decorations and kept them, and divided the rest according to what he said.
When Ye Qingyu came over and saw the materials all over the floor, her eyes almost popped out of her head.
"What the hell is this?"
"The garbage swept out from cleaning the dormitory of the mythical beasts. It is the result of Hanabi helping the mythical beasts clean their rooms these days." Zhou Lu looked at Ye in confusion. Qingyu said, "Didn't the nursing team gain something like this when they were cleaning before?"
Ye Qingyu said speechlessly: "Seeing that there is We have seen it, but the mythical beasts never allow us to take these things away. Only when we really need these materials can we ask Miss Daomu for help."
As she said that, Ye Qingyu looked at it. Hanabi, who had already changed into a housemaid outfit, said to the side: "It seems that this guy is really popular with the mythical beasts."
